DOUBLE yellow lines made one train traveller see red when his car was blocked in at Maghull Station this week.

DOUBLE yellow lines made one train traveller see red when his car was blocked in at Maghull Station this week.

Regular rail commuter, Howard Davies, arrived at 8am at the station and found his car obstructed when he returned later in the evening.

Mr Davies says it is a common occurrence where he has to weave in and out of cars to get out because there are not enough spaces and inconsiderate drivers park anywhere.

He said: "There are about 100 car spaces at the station and once there isn't anywhere else to park, people park on speed bumps, in front of gates with signs saying 'Do Not Park' and double yellow lines.

"There isn't any policing by any-body so when I return I have to squeeze past cars all the time.

"Cars are parked all over the place and nothing is done about it, no clamping system or notices stuck on windscreens.

"It's downright inconsiderate and whoever is responsible for the car park is doing nothing about it."

But Merseyrail confirmed restrictions are enforced for illegal parking and CCTV does operate all over the system.

A Merseyrail spokesman said: "We do warn people by putting a notice on their windscreen.

"If they persist we then inform British Transport Police who will then decide what to do next.

"Unfortunately at present there are no plans to extend the car park as there are a number of other improvements being carried out throughout the system."
